Handy Rope - Guy Rope for Small Mist Nets and Handy Bags

Product Description

Feeling tied down?It may seem overkill to use an entire page talking about thin accessory cord, but we actually had a customer who wanted to return a quantity of 1H net poles because, she claimed, they were defective. Pressing her further she was upset that the poles just fell over when any kind of tension was applied to the net. It became apparent that if we are going to offer net poles, we ought to provide the guy ropes as well. Then it will be obvious that mist nets should be securely tensioned with ropes when trying to catch bats and birds.

Handy Rope for guys, net bags, and more. Peruse a rope catalog and you will be presented with a dizzying array of rope diameters, materials, and colors. We have experimented with our share over the years and for rigging single high or double high nets our favorite is this:

Type III 550 pound 7-Strand core Commercial Paracord

Diameter is approximately 1/8"; not too thin that tying off requires unusual dexterity, not too thick that just wastes space in your pack.

UV resistant, will not rot/mildew, making it great for outdoor applications!

bright colors for easier demobilization or color coding

550 limit for solid colors, perfectly fine for a 1H/2H mist net

225 lb. working load limit for black w/ reflective tracer

Black w/ reflective tracer is great for lines that are tripping hazards, bat bag clotheslines, or acoustic microphones poles that otherwise would be hard to locate at night.

Single high and Double high mist nets. For use as guy ties for single high mist nets, you should have on hand 4 lines between 12' and 18' each. Yes, you can set nets using 3 lines. In a perfect spot you can even get away with 2 lines on a very short net. Start with 4 for each 1H net set in your inventory and go from there in the field as your situation and experience dictates.

For use as guy ties on a double high net set using our 1H poles and no other hardware, you should have 4 lines between 12' and 18' AND 2 lines about 25' long. This configuration is mandatory, due to the height and stresses you will put on the net set, there can be no shortcuts when rigging this configuration.

Use with our Handy Bags for Mist Nets. For use as the drawstring on our custom made Mist Net Handy Bag.Develop your own color coding system to keep your mist nets organized at a glance. We suggest using 22'' or 24'' of Handy Rope for each Handy Bag. This allows the cord to be long enough to keep trammel lines separate and tie the bag closed easily. The industry standard color codes for bat mist nets are:

Green for 2.6m netsOrange for 6m netsYellow for 9m netsWhite for 12m netsPurple for 18m nets

Note: blue is very similar to purple in the dark, but is never used so as to reduce confusion with the blue shelf line on Avinet mist nets, if you choose to color code some of the shelf lines as well (highly recommended, as sometimes the net becomes separated from the bag in the field!).

To remove a bat or bird from any net, a pulley system quickly and carefully collapses the net stack until the animal can be reached. The nets can be set up, raised, lowered, and packed up by a single person. Each tier of every net can be individually adjusted and tensioned in seconds for any bag-overlap desired, and to prevent sag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"style498\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"style310\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe system can be used as a sturdy, easy-to-use double high net set, or can even be expanded to create a quad-high set. Other uses include raising harp traps to sample previously out of reach bat roosts and hoisting bat detector equipment 50' into the air. Everyone who has worked with this system is impressed with the ease of setup, simple ability to properly tension nets over the entire expanse, and the high rate of bat captures.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis net set has been assembled tens of thousands times since 2001 by a number of different people, of all levels of experience. The assembly procedure has been refined so one person can set it up, and anyone can very quickly tear it down. Once trained, allow at least 45 minutes to an hour for one person to properly install, string, and initially tension the net set. An experienced manager will delegate several setup tasks at once to assistants, cutting set-up time to under 15 minutes. For super fast sets, remove the nets, secure the rigging, and place the fully assembled poles on a vehicle roof rack for transport to the next net site.

Short and simple.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e Anyone can set a mist-net in their suburban, well-manicured back yard . . . but that’s not where the savvy surveyor operates. The best capture survey locations are invariably in the most challenging (to humans) habitats: deep water, steep stream corridors, tight forest flyways. And, the most successful mist-net sets require a sturdy foundation: poles that remain perfectly perpendicular to the surface of the earth and stand tall without leaning or bowing. BCM’s single-high poles fit the bill. From seasons of placing poles in rocky southwestern stream beds, to deploying mist-nets across earthen cattle tanks, and doubling up on nets when the flyway demands, no other poles are as reliable or versatile as those made by BCM. They don’t bend under tension. From purchase date to the final field season of a PhD thesis, these poles will remain straight and true . . . essential characteristics for years of reliable deployments. PLUS, they perform double-duty as bat detector microphone masts for acoustic surveys. Three sections (nearly 10-feet, or 3m) can stand freely. Additional sections can be added, and guyed, to elevate an ultrasonic mic 20-feet, or 6m high. None of this can be said about other lighter-weight options. Trust me. Invest in quality equipment. Your survey success depends on it. \u003cem\u003e-Janet Tyburec, owner of \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.batsurveysolutions.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eBat Survey Solutions\u003c\/a\u003e, bat workshop instructor since 1992\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"f-fp\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"f-fp\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"style310\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"style243\"\u003eSay good-bye to conduit, bamboo, wood, etc.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e In the summer of 2001 we needed mist net poles, A LOT of mist net poles.

Easy to build at a campsite (which a lot of them were), had seamless connectors, and worked great except for when the wooden pegs would swell slightly when wet, causing many afternoons to be (literally) whittled away. Later we tried using some electrical conduit with all its wonderful connectors to avoid our wooden problems, but it turns out that conduit should really just be used for conduit. You can't slide the net loops over the pole connectors, and conduit is HEAVY. Other material like bamboo is great if you -only- do single high nets. So it turns out there is a reason why 36'' seamless stackable poles have proved the test of time...everything else is less versatile.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"style310\"\u003eBCM makes our own all aluminum poles with CNC machined ends.

Anodized black for bat work; helps hide your rigging and potentially catch more bats.

Short and simple.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e Anyone can set a mist-net in their suburban, well-manicured back yard . . . but that’s not where the savvy surveyor operates. The best capture survey locations are invariably in the most challenging (to humans) habitats: deep water, steep stream corridors, tight forest flyways. And, the most successful mist-net sets require a sturdy foundation: poles that remain perfectly perpendicular to the surface of the earth and stand tall without leaning or bowing. BCM’s single-high poles fit the bill. From seasons of placing poles in rocky southwestern stream beds, to deploying mist-nets across earthen cattle tanks, and doubling up on nets when the flyway demands, no other poles are as reliable or versatile as those made by BCM. They don’t bend under tension. From purchase date to the final field season of a PhD thesis, these poles will remain straight and true . . . essential characteristics for years of reliable deployments. PLUS, they perform double-duty as bat detector microphone masts for acoustic surveys. Three sections (nearly 10-feet, or 3m) can stand freely. Additional sections can be added, and guyed, to elevate an ultrasonic mic 20-feet, or 6m high. None of this can be said about other lighter-weight options. Trust me. Invest in quality equipment. Your survey success depends on it. \u003cem\u003e-Janet Tyburec, owner of \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.batsurveysolutions.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eBat Survey Solutions\u003c\/a\u003e, bat workshop instructor since 1992\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"f-fp\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"f-fp\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"style310\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"style243\"\u003eSay good-bye to conduit, bamboo, wood, etc.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e In the summer of 2001 we needed mist net poles, A LOT of mist net poles. Sure we knew of the terrific lightweight poles already commercially available, but the high price for these featherweight poles caused us to look at other avenues (did I mention we needed A LOT of poles?).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"style310\"\u003eDutifully we set out starting with aluminum shafts featuring wooden pegs for stacking. Easy to build at a campsite (which a lot of them were), had seamless connectors, and worked great except for when the wooden pegs would swell slightly when wet, causing many afternoons to be (literally) whittled away. Later we tried using some electrical conduit with all its wonderful connectors to avoid our wooden problems, but it turns out that conduit should really just be used for conduit. You can't slide the net loops over the pole connectors, and conduit is HEAVY. Other material like bamboo is great if you -only- do single high nets. So it turns out there is a reason why 36'' seamless stackable poles have proved the test of time...everything else is less versatile.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"style310\"\u003eBCM makes our own all aluminum poles with CNC machined ends. We decided up front we would use for less expensive material instead of trying to make them featherweight, since rarely would we net several days' hike from a road and quite frankly often they are used to whack brush down when we need an extra foot or two for the net length. Anodized black for bat work; helps hide your rigging and potentially catch more bats. After beating on these poles for a few years, dozens of employees, thousands of net sets, hundreds of workshops, we felt they have stood up to enough of our abuse and are proud to make them available to fellow bat and bird netters.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"style310\"\u003ePlease note that we sell poles individually instead of packs, so you can build your own configurations.
